 Improving Interdepartmental Relationships: 
A Toolkit for Training & Development Practitioners

Strained or ineffective interdepartmental relationships are a pervasive performance problem in organizations, often revealed in customer and employee satisfaction surveys.   Such limitations negatively affect morale and the bottom line.  Training and development practitioners are called upon to help as a trainer, facilitator, consultant and/or coach. 

This practical session will focus on common definitions, current and desired levels of interdepartmental relationships, barriers that impede effectiveness and a menu of corrective strategies that practitioners can use to effect positive change.
